Compassion is the bridge to connection and authentic relationships. Compassion can include simple check-in with a colleague and makes all the difference in feeling a sense of belonging and community. With daily stress as an everyday occurrence, having compassion makes us pause and gives us a perspective on what the other person is experiencing. Research shows that compassion can improve health and overall well being as well as increases positive emotions.
